Luke Bryan<\/a><\/strong> can shake<\/em> a lot of things, but he can’t seem to shake off his Super Bowl 51 performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Back in 2017, the country superstar sang the National Anthem live at the big game, but now he says the coveted gig<\/a> isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, as he recalled on Sunday’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em>, the set involved a lot<\/em> of moving parts.<\/p>\n

“I sign on to the anthem at the Super Bowl and when I got the call, you’re like, \u2018Do you really want to put yourself through this mental torture?'” the football superfan<\/a> told host Jimmy Fallon<\/a><\/strong>. “You either get the anthem right or you don’t, first of all.”<\/p>\n

As it turns out, rehearsing “The Star-Spangled Banner” required days of practice and, just to amp up his nerves even more, his friends placed bets on just how his performance would go.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Man, I got country music buddies calling me like, ‘Hey man, you wearing a hat or not?'” he recalled, noting that some were betting on how long his performance would last. “I’m like, \u2018I don’t know! I’m singing in front of\u2014leave me alone!'”  <\/p>\n

And, don’t even get him started on the fighter jets. As he quipped, “I will never do that to myself”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

But nevertheless, he pulled it off and delivered an amazing performance. And celebrated in true Luke Bryan fashion. “I get to the box, after I perform,” he said. “And I’m just like, \u2018Somebody get me a vodka drink right now so I can get my life back on track.'” <\/p>\n

Today, he’s still shaking. “I mean, you’ve been in those situations where you’re so nervous, like, your face locks up,” the 43-year-old told Fallon. “It feels like you have rigor mortis setting in.”<\/p>\n
